South Koreans were in the top ten countries which dominated Canada's Express Entry applications. In fact, it was the only developed country up there. Nevertheless, any country that wants immigrants has to live with the fact that the majority or a significant proprotion will be Indians and Black people. Just as the world is adapting to Chinese investments, innovation and production volumes, they have to adapt to a growing world of black and brown people. No be we talk say make dem no born children.

Japanese and Koreans cannot tilt any immigration figure because their fertility rates are abysmally low. South Korea's is below 1.0 and Japan is due to follow. Not enough to populate the home turf and certainly nonexistent to send out.
You're so correct!

The South Korean birth numbers are horrifyingly low for an additional reason.

Just take a look at the South Korean student scoring system and you would have a good idea why birth rates are so.

They weren't terrorists.

They were militia herdsmen or bandits. They were pissed that Ondo state was officially beginning to make the state unwelcome to Fulani herdsmen.

The proper names would make a difference.

After insulting the North that made him President. After undermining their leadership you have been sent to cover his gaffs against the North?

Remove Nnamdi Kanu and jail him in the palace of the sultan or emir to please them. The North doesn't care.


There is something you people NEVER understand. In war, snitches (like Yoruba) are not regarded. The North understands the underling agreement of MEN. That is why as brutal as BUHARI was he removed his hands from sentencing Nnamdi Kanu., but after jailing him to please the North. The same north doesn't regard TINUBU.

You guys need to fight modern warfare and after that you will understand that dignity even in battle grounds is Paramount.

Being treacherous doesn't get you medals. Tinubu has finished your region and the only thing that can insulate you from a bloody backlash is Oduduwa Republic.

If not...

Una go cry blood and fire.
How has Tinubu finished the Southwest?

Unfortunately for you, Okonjo-Iweala and Charles Soludo, two of the best economists around, and who are Igbo, both praised Tinubu's economic policies. You need to brush up your economics.

Yes, they were painful but this was due to Buhari's mishandling of the economy.

Your tribalism is second to none.

I wonder if he had any children. That would have been comforting.

I feel it might be prudent for men to have their sperms stored for events like this, or in the event they have become sterile as married men.

Men, who when once fertile, may become sterile due to an STD or other reasons. The stored sperm could then be used when married.

My worry is if the clinic irresponsibly gives it out without permission. Just imagine if someone like Dangote has such.

I won't be surprised if it falls into the wrong hands in Nigeria.

I laughed at the last picture you put there from the Wall Street poster. You are relying on X whose owner has allowed right wing extremists post their ignorance as they are afraid of competition and being wiped out. Why did US not place Nigeria on a ban list? I thought you guys rever them so much that they have intelligence. Since they have intel, you and I know why they will not ban Nigeria because they have data on Nigerians in US, otherwise Trump no go waste time to harass Nigerians in US like he did to Somalis.

Leave migrants alone, may the land bless you wherever you are. Amen.
I used to have a paid X subscription and I know that Wall Street guy is a joke. X is damn too right wing, close to the far right, not just there.

If the doors are being closed, it might partially be influenced by a slowing world economy, a legacy of Trump's disastrious economic policies such as tariffs and the mass deportation programmes. A slowing US economy would mean a slowing world economy. China can not help out this time like it did in 2010 when they urged state owned banks to lend massively to pump upo their economy. This kicked the Chinese economy into an hyperdrive and its growth helped the Third World economies grow including commodity rich ones like Canada and Australia.

China has too much debt now, so it is being caution.

In addition, the Chinese consumers are not keen on spending. They have been improverished vy a real estate crash and rising unemployment.

That Wall Street guy is an idiot. i used to have a paid X subscription.

Why would Japs or South Koreans want to emigrate to the US when they are very comfortable at home.

However, if Japan's economy continues in its current trajectory, and the Yen drops to like $1- Yen 300 in 20 years time, perhaps that might start.

Demetrix:
Single mothers are a red flag because what Landed them in that state can be detrimental to you on the long run. (Except she's a widow). You can always break free, just get closer to God and work on your mind. Meet a prophet if possible.
"If fada (the priest) beat the children wey come late to church, what about the children that did not come?"

In the same vein, if you write off single mothers, what of those who carried out abortions? It seems they get a pass.

We must be fair and balanced when judging people (Read Psalms 130:3,4;130:8-14, Luke 7:36-50, Matthew 7:1-4)

If she's truly bewitched, what does the Bible say, "Draw close to God, and he draw close to you. Oppose the Devil and he will flee from you." (I am summarising James 4:7,8

There is a saying that if you want someone to assist you put a load on your head, you too must bow down.

Likewise, to get help from God, you too must bend down.

As that scripture says, draw close to God and he will draw close to you.

Why not start to learn more about God and what he is like? (Read Psalms 103:8-14) You can request a visit by the Jehovahs Witnesses here https://hub.jw.org/request-visit/en/request. It is 100% free!

Many people listen to music not watch. For example, out of 100 music produced by the A list musicians in Nigeria, I may have listened to 90 of them via naijaloaded and only proceed to watch 2 of them. This is same for majority of people.
Focus on facts and not on sentiments. What do the stats show?

Search this on Google: "10 highest Nigerian streams on spotify and their volumes"

Please note that a billion streams will net one at least $2m.

And that's just Spotify. I think Spotify accounts for 40% of streaming volume online.

We haven't included income from Tiktok and other social media platform. Youtube pays about $3 per 1,000 view. 1m views is easily $3,000, and these guys do millions. Tiktok pays $0.03 any timw a creator uses a song to produce content. Not much but it adds up.

We haven't factored money from concerts. That iswhere the real money lies. All that streaming income na coins.

Just one movie propelled Omoni Oboli to the top. That's the beauty of social media. However, Omoni Oboli may never be able to make another Love in Every Word.

I just dey laugh those Nigerians who laugh at Nigerian films. We can all see that films sell more than any other form of digital content in Nigeria....even more than music.
Music earns more. No way naija movies will earn more. Not even feasible.

Once I saw the DRC, I had to wonder what their definition of road network was.

That country has the worst roads in Africa, or even globally if it comes to travellng from one city to another, town or village.

Throughout the more than 2 decades Mobutu ruled the country, he did not maintain the roads. This should subtly inform you of the mess left behind.

Hate him or like him, this man says his mind.

I believe the bandits can be defeated militiristally but only after negotiation fails. Negotiate with those worth negotiating.

However, due to the sheer number of bandits groups in Zamfara state, over 100, and with the presence of minerals, especially gold, negotiation will be the primary way forward.

What is important now is 24hour power supply and the country seems close to achieving that now.

Coverage comes second.

Thankfully now, mini-power grids are now possible, so connecting new communities won't be that expensive.

A shout out must go to China where overinvestment in solar energy has left to a crash in the prices of solar panels.

Nigeria should do itself a favor by bringing the duty on solar panels to Zero to encourage its deployment.

She revealed there that she did her job well even at that, so what is this wrong you accused her of doing?! undecided
I am certain there are laws against it. That it sexual harassment.

One can, however, empathize with her as she was vulnerable.
